defy him.
pointed with the manner in which Da-
kota has been treated by this congress,
but inasmuch q ha is only q delegate
and not entitled to q vote he has been
unable to accomplish as much " his
work and energy would entitle him to
expect. He has been interchangeable and
earnest, tireless and persistent, but it
has been all in vain.
Hon. ]. ]. Kleiner, Of Indiana, will
hereafter bea full.hedeed Dakotian. He
has large interests in the Hills and in
the country to the north Of them and
will reside in the territory. He de-
clined a denomination for congress last
summer for the reason that he had
made up his mind to come to Dakota
to 1--we. He will be one Of the foremost
citizens Of the territory. He is q Dem
ocrat, q liberal minded man and a per-
feet gentleman. I bespeak for him the
confidence, friendship and good will Of
all, for he is q reliable, manly man and
q true friend.
The appointment Of Mr.. Whitesides.
Of Vermillion, 70 the Deadwood land Of
Zee was a genuine surprise here. The
place had been promised to Frost ever
siuce last December. Finally it goes to
another. Mr.. Wllitesldes il an able
man, q Democrat, Q man of intelligence
and ability and will creditably fill the
Office. One Of the funny things about
it is that when Whitasides was here in
January, he had y talk with Frost, VIII.
said "Whitesides, you had better 60
home and save your money. You are
not in the race. The Office has been
promised to me, but Voorhees, has q
man whom he is urging. The fight is
between me and Voorhees, man. You
haven't q ghost Of q show" Yet show
or no show, Whitesides got the persim-
mons. It is now in the papers that
Frost is to get the Fargo Office. But be-
tween you and me and the gatepost he
has been deceived 60 much about that
Office that it looks nov as though he
will get nothing. Certainly his friends
think he oughtEto be taken care of. In
all good common sense politics he ought
to be. for it is q true saying and worthy
Of all acceptance that ITO the victors be-
long the spoils." There is no doctrine
under which Q republic can be run 80
we'll rs under that doctrine.
Ex.Postmaster General Frank Hatton
was here recently and said: II am for
Sherman for president. The Republi.
can party can elect him and can't have
= certainty of electing any one else. !
am for Sherman because I believe he ia
certain to win. Nevertheless there are
other good men in the Republican party
who might win and will support the
nominee. But I'm for Sherman"
Senator ingalls,, referring to Dakota
affairs this afternoon, said !: "There wa.
never q body Of law.abiding, thrifty, en-
ergetic, ambitious people treated &C
badly as the pioneers Of Dakota have
been since the days Of our forefathers
They fought for their rights and the
people of Dakota could not be greatly
blamed by the descendants Of the mel
who fought under Washington If they
were to rise in their might and revolt
Of course that would be wrong and
should be among the first to advocate
the suppression Of an uprising, and q
would all of us. And yet, we could no
in our hearts blame them much TO
compelling thegovernment to recognize
their rights. Taxation without repre-
sentation was the war cry Of the revolu
zion. The people 81. Dakota are suffer
ing under similar tyranny. Dakot,
should be admitted to the Union with
out further delay, and admitted as sh'
desires, either by l~ivisionor as a WHOLE
That Grover Cleveland will be renom
mated by his party IN 1883 is general,
conceded by the politicians. He is no
the choice Of the leaders Of his part,
and Hill is, but Cleveland has the 'bulge
on the position and will keep it. Their
are grave doubts in the minds Of tn
Democratic leaders though as to thei
ability to re-elect him. Yetthey say b,
il more popular with the people thai
with the politicians.
